THE COMMITTEES BILL.

( The kilograms from Washington
bring the information, that at last
after many protracted and stormy
meetings and much animated discus
sion, the conference committee to which
was referred the Edmunds- Tucker bill,
has substantially agreed upon a mea-
sure. another meeting will be held for
the making up of the report, which
viii in ali probability be presented to
the two houses of Congress this week.
We3an now understand why the com
mittee was so long in arriving at an
agreement. The members were not
under the lash as they had been during
the passage of the Edmunds bill through
the Senate and the Tucker substitute
through the House. They took time to
read the bill, which they had not done
before, and as they read they discovered
the Wickedness of the propositions, ard
we've able to fatlom the corrupt designs
Of those who had been foremost in ad-
yocacy of the cruel and thieving mea
supes. The result of the conferences il
the striking out of the worst features of
the Tucker bill, and the substitution O.
some of the clauses in the Edmunds
bl for worse clauses in the Tucker
mfamy. Below we endeavor to make
plain the changes by the committee,
and it viii be seen that all are improve
ments:

This provision was inserted in the orig

de uand that Gentle polygamy,"
which the local courts had protected or
refused to prosecute. be made punish
able. 1t was urged that if the Edmu nds
law of 1882 had been in the Interest Of
morality, st would have declared against
adultery, and with an apparent desire
to strike at immortality, Mr.. Edmunds
inserted the above section In his new
bill. AS the men who were advocating
the legislation, and not the Mormons
would come under the operations of the
section, Mr.. Tucker was induced to
modify the provision by reducing the
penalty for adultery from three years
